Description: | Secondary waste flake / debitage of flint dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods (2900 - 1800 BC). The flake is irregular in plan being more like a chunk or chip than true flakes. Flake facets are present on the outer (dorsal) face, although some of these are uncontrolled probably from plough roll. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. The flake has less than 50% cortex (outer rind), which is a mid grey white colour - possibly originally from a chalk or limestone based procurement source. The flake measures: 31.7mm length, 18.2mm width is 8mm thick and weighs 3.78 grams
